OOOO! Well that'll cost a few million pounds easy hehe
But I wonder how hard it'd be to do one of these locos in NA style?
With cowcatchers, bells, marker lights & whistles
After all the US did import it's 1st locos from England

I live not far from a place where steam locomotives are being built. There's a guy named Dave Kloke who has built, and still owns, a locomotive called Leviathan. It's a full size replica of a sister engine to Jupiter. Jupiter, at the Golden Spike National Monument, is also a replica and Mr. Kloke was able to use some of the tooling that was made to build Jupiter. More recently, he built another engine named York and sold it to a railroad near York PA.
They're out there.
Carpe Manana!

Don,
Well its not so much that its steam, but the mere fact of our economy right now is the amazing part, that's a TON of money to build a steamer these days PLUS the amount of insurance needed to operate them! Specially in this country!
